I'm okay with it, it's done, but nobody cared when Mike Trout made it last year on the strength of the impact his callup made just about a month sooner than Puig's callup this year. Sure, he had a little bit of service in 2011 as well, but not much and his performance was of little note at the time. So, Trout did have more time, but it's pretty much the same situation.
But, it's over and he'll have his chance next year. The only thing that left a really sour taste was the ESPN article that quoted a bunch of Diamondbacks downing the idea of Puig in the ASG and Puig in general. Those guys are in the middle of a feud--contained at the moment--and one of those downing him was Ian Kennedy, who hit him in the face. I really don't care about those guys' opinions of a guy they don't like anyway.
